Mitch McConnell AGAIN Proves What A Garbage Human Being He Is

During a speech this week at a local Chamber of Commerce, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was asked whether he’d fill a Supreme Court next year since it was an election year. McConnell said that Republicans would absolutely fill it, breaking his own claim that you can’t appoint SCOTUS justices during an election year. McConnell is human garbage, and hopefully voters will put him out to the curb in 2020. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

You know, as we inch closer and closer to the 2020 presidential election, I am not convinced that defeating Donald Trump is the most important thing for this country right now. I mean, obviously we need good policies. We need to take care of struggling Americans because there's more and more in those ranks every day. But in order to do that, Donald Trump may not necessarily be the guy holding us up on progress. I think that mantle belongs to another guy, Republicans Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell. Yesterday during a speech and Kentucky at a local chamber of Commerce, Mitch McConnell was asked the question, what would you do if next year in 2020 there happens to be a supreme court vacancy? Would you fill it? And Mitch McConnell took a pause, took a dramatic sip of his drink, set it down, and then said, oh, we'd fill it. The entire room erupted in laughter because that Mitch McConnell's being funny, I, because he's old as back in 2016 that because it was an election year, they weren't even going to hold a vote on Obama's supreme court nominee, Merrick garland.

You know, let the voters decide which party gets to a point, that seat, even though the voters had already decided which party got to choose that seat, they decided that back in 2012 when they elected Obama to serve until noon on January 20th, 2017 it was Obama's seat to a point and Mitch McConnell singlehandedly blocked it because he made up some lie saying, no, we don't do this in an election year, even though it's happened plenty of times throughout history during an election year, but now he's being fun ride. He saying, Oh, hell yeah. We'd fill it. I wouldn't hold myself to my own standards. That's what he told the crowd and they loved it. Mitch McConnell is absolutely a garbage human being without a doubt, one of the worst human beings to ever serve in the United States Senate. But here's the thing. Here's what Mitch McConnell needs to understand. The public sees him.

Yeah. During the Obama years we saw him, we saw his obstruction, especially with Merrick Garland, but I think people are paying a little bit more attention. Now you're paying a little bit more attention to what's happening in the Senate so that we understand that. Yeah, it's not just Donald Trump up there being a horrible human being. We've got plenty of those in the Senate as well, and luckily they all happened to be up for reelection in 2020 or at least most of them McConnell, Lindsey Graham, all the real garbage trash republicans are up for reelection. In fact, that's actually why McConnell was backing Kentucky, doing this little stump speech at the local chamber of Commerce.
